HP Omen 30l GT13-1154 AMD Rayzen 7 5800x (gt-13-1000a) NVME m2 slots

[G550Pilot]

Just purchased from Best Buy.  AMD Rayzen 7 5800x with GTX 3080, 16gb Ram 1TB m2 SSD.  Everything I can find shows it should have 2 - NMVE m2 slots.  I can only see one.  Am I missing something?

The model number of the unit is GT13-1154, that appears to be a subset of GT13-1000a.

I found one pic on HP site that appears to show AMD versions of the HANA mother board only have 1 slot, but all specs say two.

any insights would be appreciated

@G550Pilot , welcome to the Community.

According to the "Motherboard Specifications", in the section titled "Expansion slots", it states that there are "(2) M.2 socket 3, key M (for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3)", as you say.  Unfortunately, HP no longer provides diagrams of their motherboards in the specifications.  I suggest looking behind the video card or other obscure places.

SO, this morning, with way more light available, I pulled the RTX3080 graphics card.  Lo and behold there was the NVMe M.2 slot.  IMPOSSIBLE to see with it place.

Also, for FYI, it appears that on the AMD version of the motherboard there is a PCIe x4 slot.  I have seen people ask if there was room for a capture card.  Appears on the AMD board there is.

thanks for the help.
